Impulso Vibrator

Date: (16 March 2010)

First impressions: the packaging was nice and easy to open - no need for scissors and getting sliced by sharp plastic in our eagerness to get to the toy! And the batteries were included too.
The Impulso Vibrator consists of a silicone rubber G-spot massager and a waterproof bullet vibrator, so it can in theory be used in the shower. We never got that far before the bullet gave up and stopped working. We found the difficulty lies in the casing contacts - you have to twist the cap to get the contacts to meet, and due to the need for a snug fit for the waterproof aspect, I think the tolerances weren't quite right. However, as ours may have been a faulty bullet I'll continue with the rest of the review, and if I get a replacement that works faultlessly then I'll update you!

The bullet has 10 settings - 3 different continuous vibrations with different intensities, and 7 different vibration patterns.

The toy itself has a nice shape, with a big squishy ring at the end. The bullet gets inserted into the base of the toy, leaving the control button exposed and easy to reach. The ring gives you a nice grip on the toy (especially when it gets all slippery!) and allows the user to angle the head of the toy to hit the right spot. However, as it is not a solid ring, this means it's quite easy to accidentally knock the control button to a different setting, which can be very frustrating while waiting for the correct mode that was 'doing the right thing' to cycle back round!

The shape of the toy is very nice - it seems to stay put during muscle contractions, rather than being pushed out, which is fab. I also found that I felt the vibrations more at the bottom end of the toy, where the bullet is, rather than at the G-spot, which for me was really rather nice, as it got my pc muscles twitching nicely, similar I guess to the beads in rabbit toys, but in my opinion did a much better job [than the rabbits I've tried] being slightly narrower and higher up inside the vagina.

I really liked this toy, and was very disappointed in the bullet failing, so I'm rather hopeful that it was a one off, hence why I give it such a reasonable rating despite only being able to use it once.
The second time I used the toy, I was on my own and I took about 10 minutes to try and get the thing to work. When I finally managed to get it working, I managed to cycle through the first 3 modes before it cut out - and at this point I gave up and went back to my tried and tested toys!
